The term Mommy makeover refers to a series of cosmetic surgical procedures designed to help women regain their pre-pregnancy appearance and correct physical changes that may occur after giving birth and breastfeeding. These procedures are often performed in a single operative session.
A typical Mommy makeover may include a combination of the following procedures: abdominoplasty, breast augmentation or reduction, breast lift and liposuction. It's important to note that mommy makeover is a personalized approach, and the procedures included may vary according to each patient's individual needs.

Like all surgical procedures, these carry certain risks. Although these are generally rare, it's important to understand the complications that may be associated with them, including infection, hematoma, bleeding, skin necrosis, scarring, asymmetry or irregularities.

The Mommy makeover is designed to address a specific set of aesthetic concerns common in women after pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, it's important to understand that this procedure is not a one-size-fits-all solution and may not address every patient's specific aesthetic concerns.
An abdominoplasty will serve to remove excess loose skin and tighten weakened abdominal muscles. Breast augmentation can be performed to restore volume to breasts that may have diminished after pregnancy and breastfeeding, while a breast lift can be performed to lift and firm sagging breasts. Liposuction can be used to remove stubborn fat deposits.
By combining several surgical procedures, the Mommy makeover aims to improve the overall silhouette, creating a more youthful, toned and proportioned appearance.

You are a good candidate if you have specific aesthetic concerns related to physical changes after your pregnancies and breastfeedings (it's important to have completed your desired number of pregnancies), such as excess abdominal skin or fat, loss of breast volume, breast ptosis, or other changes in figure.
You must be in good general health and have no uncontrolled medical conditions that could increase the risks associated with surgery. This implies having a stable weight.
It's important to have realistic expectations about the possible results of the procedure, and to be ready to commit to the recovery process. The aim of this surgery is to give you back the confidence you deserve!

The recovery process after a Mommy makeover may vary depending on the specific procedures included in your case and your individual reaction to surgery. After surgery, you will wear bandages over the treated areas and may need to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling, support tissues and promote optimal healing. It's common to experience pain, swelling and discomfort in treated areas, including the abdomen, breasts, hips and other parts of the body.
The final results of a Mommy makeover may take several weeks to several months to become fully apparent. Swelling will gradually diminish and scar tissue will stabilize, allowing you to appreciate the final results of the procedures performed
